Couldn’t be better. Maningo is knowledgeable, tireless, kind, careful, responsive, and fun to be with (important given our 10-12 hour days over the course of a week). He intuitively knew when to linger to let us see/photo animals or just take it all in. Although we don’t understand Swahili, we could tell people were happy to see and talk to him by the smiles on their faces. He seemed to make everyone around him happier—a remarkable trait.
“Top notch! Everything was well planned. The lodging was amazing. My favorite was Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. It was located about 8000 feet in a very lush forest, constructed of river rock and polished African hardwoods – absolutely beautiful! The website pictures of all the places we stayed looked nice but the actual experience of staying at these places was well beyond expectations. Whenever we went to a new destination there was always some one to greet us, take us to our hotels, airport, etc.
Access 2 Tanzania attended to every detail including all the arrangements for our post-safari extension to Zanzibar. The hotels provided great breakfasts and dinners and even the boxed lunches we ate out in the “bush” were pretty decent. Our guide, Maningo, was excellent. He truly wanted all of us to have the best African experiences. If we ever travel to Africa in the future, Access 2 Tanzania will be our first choice.”
